I decided on the Hillsounds as my in-between solution. You can get them this weekend on Kittery Trading Post's website for $39.99 with free shipping ... What a deal! Now I just need to make time to get out there!!! :o Research paper and Earth science unit planning come first, sadly ....

I laughed pretty hard at the rescue cats film at the Portland show on Monday, too. How did that guy keep a straight face??? :D I was thinking about getting to the Regent in Arlington on Monday or Tuesday as well; is anyone else going?

No close-up pics necessary, Ellen. Those are unmistakably fox tracks! :)

Hi Ellen, Fox scent is indeed quite skunky and probably even more strongly so right now during breeding season. That being said, it has never hit me in the way that you describe, but this may be because it is familiar and I know what I'm smelling for certain. You do have fox tracks in the...

Nice! In a similar vein, Went to Banff FF last night in Portland with a VFTT friend (great fun!) and was mesmerized by Sketchy Andy Lewis and his slack-lining and solo free top-lining antics. If you haven't checked out Banff yet, you should. I may go to one of the Arlington shows next week if...

Jeez Dan, if I'd known these lessons were for more than healing after injury I would have read this before I started my most recent paper in Principles of Teaching, Learning, and Assessment in the Inclusive Secondary Classroom!!! :eek::p I'd say they are somewhat universal, very well-said, and...

I got mine several years ago from the LLBean outlet in Conway, and let's just say I'm pretty sure it was mismarked :eek::cool:. Prices are typically 35% off catalog, but I got my 14' women's Calypso with rudder for under $500 and it retails for about a grand in the catalog. It is a great...

I have been in the environmental field for 15 years and while I haven't personally done research on coyotes in NE(my research has been almost solely on amphibians), some of my acquaintances have. We have known for some time that these animals are NOT the same as the Western coyote, and their...

So super tempting, but probably not realistic on my part. :( When I attempt to bag the balance of my winter list next year (The Bonds, Franconia Ridge and a couple of others) I'm sure that there will be 12 foot drifts of snow and that I'll wish that I was dead instead of winter...

The farm in Haverhill where those buffalo live is just down the road from my parents' house. After that story in the local papers there was a retraction of sorts. It sounds as if perhaps he did lose a buffalo, but that contention that coyotes were the cause was completely bogus. I am not...

Our coyotes are indeed a hybrid animal, Western coyotes crossed with Eastern wolves at some point and we got these 40+ pound more wolf than coyote coyote. And yes, they do indeed hunt in packs, paricularly where there is bigger game plentiful and room to roam. They have definitely filled the...

I had to sit out 2 years effectively. Surgery followed by complications, followed by job and living situation changes. And no one wants all the gorey details trust me!! :o As unfunny as hernia is, partial hysterectomy is perhaps even less funny .... On the bright side, I'm starting to get...

I hate to state the obvious, but a picture from a game camera in Oregon has absolutely no bearing on supposed sightings of big cats in New England or anywhere in the East, for that matter. But, I probably should just give up on this, and stop reading these threads ....

That's awesome :D .... It ought to just say "Don't expect it to actually work." Too damn funny!

Hmmmm, I didn't think I had chimed in here, yet, but I guess Sardog was reading my mind???? Anyway, my 2 cents comes with a caveat: I have always been on a serious budget. Pretty much everything I've used for winter has come from LLBean outlets. I'll second Michelle's recommendations of the...

When I was heading to Yellowstone several winters ago, Mouse boots were recommended to me. I found a selection of them at the Army supply store in Conway, NH, but I didn't end up getting them. I brought my basic Kamik boot (-40 rating) and it ended up being a pretty warm week anyway. Since...

Something like this MIGHT keep hawks away from a songbird nest if there was one within the branches .... The question is, who would have cared enough to make the attempt. But, there is probably some other explanation that has nothing to do with this :o. Someone wanted the woods to demonstrate...

I cannot express my joy at this news. Can't wait to talk to my friends at SPNHF about this big win. :cool::D:)

Sad beyond words. Freak accidents like this make me feel even more vulnerable. Somehow when I am able to look at deaths in the mountains and point to mistakes, I can be deluded into thinking it couldn't happen to me. It's probably how many of us convince ourselves we have control. A fall...

Thanks for the message. I'm not sure what the problem was, the implication was that I was "soliciting" a donation with the post that included the link about the Balsams. Rather than get into an argument, I just deleted it. I'm glad your post garnered no such complaints. I happen to support...
